Description
VK_KHR_ray_tracing_maintenance1 adds a collection of minor ray tracing
features, none of which would warrant an entire extension of their own.
The new features are as follows:
-
Adds support for the
SPV_KHR_ray_cull_maskSPIR-V extension in Vulkan. This extension provides access to built-inCullMaskKHRshader variable which contains the value of theOpTrace*Cull Maskparameter. This new shader variable is accessible in the intersection, any-hit, closest-hit and miss shader stages. -
Adds support for a new pipeline stage and access mask built on top of
VK_KHR_synchronization2:-
VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_2_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COPY_BIT_KHRto specify execution of acceleration structure copy commands -
VK_ACCESS_2_SHADER_BINDING_TABLE_READ_BIT_KHRto specify read access to a shader binding table in any shader pipeline stage
-
-
Adds two new acceleration structure query parameters:
-
VK_QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_SIZE_KHRto query the acceleration structure size on the device timeline -
VK_QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_SERIALIZATION_BOTTOM_LEVEL_POINTERS_KHRto query the number of bottom level acceleration structure pointers for serialization
-
-
Adds an optional new indirect ray tracing dispatch command, vkCmdTraceRaysIndirect2KHR, which sources the shader binding table parameters as well as the dispatch dimensions from the device. The
rayTracingPipelineTraceRaysIndirect2feature indicates whether this functionality is supported.
